After some initial trial of the current php support in nb with other people in my org, it became clear that we need a project option to set a behaviour where when a php or project resource is created of updated or deleted, the change is automatically propagated to the deployed app. This is not a rfe but a bug since other languages in the IDE can already do that: jsp in web apps (or resources). This is the main value of a web project for a developer. jruby/Rails projects Phobos projects. Competition is also doing that (for web apps, or ruby apps). We need to implement that for 6.1 otherwise I was told that people would not use the PHP support in NetBeans... Just use gedit on the files under htdoc directory is much more productive. See how it was done for Web Apps files and resources, it is not hard to copy the implementation, and the benefit will be huge.
files copying on save is planned for 6.1 (mentioned in spec draft: http://saturn.czech.sun.com/wiki/view/Mythoughtphp61 ). Automatic files removing can be risky but looks reasonable.
